Thank you!

Good work; maybe a little improvement in readability (and also with DRY in mind) would be wrapping all the conditional mixins of a specific vendor prefixed property into one mixing by using LESS' nesting
e.g.:

.ms-flex-justify(@msJustify) {
    & when (@msJustify = space-between) {
        -ms-flex-pack: justify;
    }
    & when (@msJustify = space-around) {
        -ms-flex-pack: distribute;
    }
    & when (@msJustify = flex-end) {
        -ms-flex-pack: end;
    }
    & when (@msJustify = flex-start) {
        -ms-flex-pack: start;
    }
    & when (@msJustify = center) {
        -ms-flex-pack: center;
    }
}

Actually, rather than packing them together like that with when guards, you should leverage the fact that Less supports pattern matching. The following will give you appropriate compile-time errors when a wrong value is supplied by a consumer:

.ms-flex-justify(@value) {
  ._(@value);
  ._(space-between) { -ms-flex-pack: justify;    }
  ._(space-around)  { -ms-flex-pack: distribute; }
  ._(flex-end)      { -ms-flex-pack: end;        }
  ._(flex-start)    { -ms-flex-pack: start;      }
  ._(center)        { -ms-flex-pack: center;     }
}
